Yesterday I did a proper leg workout for the first time in about eight months (due to not being overseas and not having access to a gym with weights). I didn't want to go really heavy because I'm just getting back into it, so I did sets of 20-30 reps with a challenging weight. It totally kicked my butt, and gave my heart a good workout too.

Today, I am re-discovering the forgotten sensations of quads and glutes DOMS. [img]/forum/images/graemlins/crazy.gif[/img] Careful navigation is required to sit down in the bathroom, and walking down stairs (especially wearing heels) is a real mission!

Oh, that is what I call a good case of the DOMS. Yeah, getting in and out of the restroom can sometimes be a chore if you have what I like to call the grapefruit effect. That's when you have DOMS the size of grapefruits in your glutes. It can be a total chore when sitting anywhere. I know that feeling all to well after blasting the legs a good one. That's totally awesome. I bet those stick around for a nice week or so. That's what happened to me to my first leg workout back into action.
